Personal
While working as a bullpen catcher during a game against Oakland, Phillips met his future fiancee, Molly Ray. She was sitting in the stands as a spectator, and they made eye contact throughout the game. When it went into extra innings, Phillips impulsively wrote his phone number on a ball and threw it to Ray. She sent him a text message, and they subsequently began dating. In recognition of the circumstances of their meeting, they decided to hold their wedding in the bullpen at Safeco Field, after the conclusion of the Mariners' game on June 20, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“Personality and mind, like moustaches, belong to a certain age. They are a deformity in a child.... Leave his sensibilities, his emotions, his spirit, and his mind severely alone. There is the devil in mothers, that they must provoke personal ... response from their infants.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“It is cowardly to fly from natural duties and take up those that suit our taste or temperament better; but it is also unwise to take an exaggerated view of personal duties, which shuts out the proper care of the mind and body entrusted to us.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
